What to say when you text a guy for the first time?

[Anonymous]

So I have a crush on this guy and I am thinking of making the first move by texting him on Instagram! We have never talked irl before but we have both seen each other around the school campus. Any tips on what I should first say to him and how to keep the conversation going? I would really appreciate it!!

I would ask him his favourite movie or strategy game or beach.

Say something funny to start off, and then ask about his interests.
